Major Wine Press Reviews
Dry Riesling86 Points! Crisp and refreshing, barely off-dry, with lively pear and floral flavors.— Wine Spectator, April 2008
Sweet Riesling88 Points - Best Value!Sweet, but balanced with acidity to make it feel refreshing...offering pineapple, mango and honey as the finish lingers. — Wine Spectator, April 2008
Chenin Blanc88 Points - Best Value!Bright and lively, a crisp, juicy white wine that zings with apple and passion fruit. Off-dry, but it tastes crisp, crisp, crisp.— Wine Spectator, May 2008
Gewurztraminer89 Points! The wine is approachable and soft, not oily, round and fruity. This lush, forward style will meld comfortably with Asian fare. — Wine Enthusiast, July 2008
Quality and Recognition
Wallula Vineyard Riesling90 pts! Wine Enthusiast, Dec ‘08‘From the Biodynamic Wallula Vineyard comes this dry, leesy, chewy Riesling, packed with lime and citrus flavors. The fruit was hand picked and biodynamically grown…Tart and juicy, the wine brings a mouthful of peach and stone fruits with marvelous minerality and texture.’
Solstice Vineyard Riesling92 pts! Wine Enthusiast, Dec ‘08‘The wine is finished at 1.2% residual sugar but tastes bone dry. It’s succulent and juicy, with floral aromas, stone fruits and hints of honeysuckle. Concentrated and dense, it is both bracing and long. The bottle was retasted on the second and third days after being opened and retained it’s crispness and vitality beautifully.’
Wallula Vineyard RieslingBiodynamic Cuvée93 pts! Wine Enthusiast, Dec ‘08‘This vineyard has been Demeter cirtified Biodynamic. One of just a handful in Washington to have achieved that recognition. It’s all natural, ripe and full flavored, with a wonderful, mouth filling intensity. The flavors are a lovely mix of stone, yeast, flower and a jumble of citrus and apple fruits.’
